* perf symbols: Add the build id cache to the vmlinux pathArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So that if the kernel DSO has a build id because record inserted it in the perf.data build id table in the header, or a BUILD_ID event was inserted in the stream, we first look at the build id cache ($HOME/.debug/). If we find it there, try to use it, allowing offline annotation in addition to 'perf report'.

* perf options: Type check all the remaining OPT_ variantsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OPT_SET_INT was renamed to OPT_SET_UINT since the only use in these tools is to set something that has an enum type, that is builtin compatible with unsigned int. Several string constifications were done to make OPT_STRING require a const char * type.

* perf options: Check v type in OPT_U?INTEGERArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-171-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now we'll got this instead: bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’ bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’ Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel hackers should be already used to this. With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER. Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

* perf, x86: Improve the PEBS ABIPeter Zijlstra2010-05-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field: 0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid 1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid 2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid 3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup. Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual instruction triggering the event. This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more than a single event.

* perf: add perf-inject builtinTom Zanussi2010-05-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events. What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits. This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode, perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps e.g.: perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i - perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout. At any point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event stream. Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream with additional information could make use of this facility.

* perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce ↵Ian Munsie2010-04-141-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OPT_INCR() Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool and would therefore print out the usage information and terminate. This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is currently the only such example of this). I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints. The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN. Signed-off-by: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au.ibm.com> Acked-by: David S.

* perf events: Change perf parameter --pid to process-wide collection instead ↵Zhang, Yanmin2010-03-181-57/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of thread-wide Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10 threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add --tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection. Usage example is: # perf top -p 8888 # perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10 # perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10 Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process 8888.

| * perf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugsPaul Mackerras2010-03-111-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring (perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1. These tools ask for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1. This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are numbered sparsely. For example, a POWER6 system in single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per core) will have only even-numbered cpus online. This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online file to find out which cpus are online. The code that does that is in tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map() function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of online cpus. If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[]. The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to perf_event_open.

In such case there were no conversion needed, but in src->eip = strtoull(src->line, NULL, 16); src->eip = map->unmap_ip(map, src->eip); // = eip + map->start - map->pgoff we were reading absolute address from objdump (e.g. 8048604) and then almost doubling it, because eip & map->start are approximately close for small programs. Needless to say, that later, in record_precise_ip() there was no matching with real runtime IPs. And second, like with `perf annotate` the problem with non-prelinked *.so was that we were doing rip -> objdump address conversion wrong. Also, because unlike `perf annotate`, `perf top` code does annotation based on absolute IPs for performance reasons(*), new helper for mapping objdump addresse to IP is introduced. (*) we get samples info in absolute IPs, and since we do lots of hit-testing on absolute IPs at runtime in record_precise_ip(), it's better to convert objdump addresses to IPs once and do no conversion at runtime. I also had to fix how objdump output is parsed (with hardcoded 8/16 characters format, which was inappropriate for ET_DYN dsos with small addresses like '4ac') Also note, that not all objdump output lines has associtated IPs, e.g. look at source lines here: 000004ac <my_strlen>: extern "C" int my_strlen(const char *s) 4ac: 55 push %ebp 4ad: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 4af: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp { int len = 0; 4b2: c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,-0x4(%ebp) 4b9: eb 08 jmp 4c3 <my_strlen+0x17> while (*s) { ++len; 4bb: 83 45 fc 01 addl $0x1,-0x4(%ebp) ++s; 4bf: 83 45 08 01 addl $0x1,0x8(%ebp) So we mark them with eip=0, and ignore such lines in annotate lookup code.

The only thing which needs to be adjusted, is how --sym-annotate option is handled - now we can't rely on vmlinux been loaded until full successful pass of dso__load_vmlinux(), but that's not the case if we'll do sym_filter_entry setup in symbol_filter(). So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we know the whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done. By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't annotate userspace - see next patches with fixes.

Talking about that now it is encoded in .pgoff, so that we can use .{start,len} to store the address boundaries for the kernel so that when we reconstruct the kmaps tree we can do lookups right away, without having to fixup the end of the kernel maps like we did in the past (and now only in perf record). One more step in the 'perf archive' direction when we'll finally be able to collect data in one machine and analyse in another.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to process IP sample events: int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like annotate and report can further process the event by creating hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs, etc). It in turn uses the new next layer function: void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode, enum map_type type, u64 addr, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all these details in the addr_location given. Tools that need a more compact API for plain function resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one: struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr, symbol_filter_t filter) So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool needs, its just a matter of calling: sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL); The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms.
